This page is a repository for alternate case designs for the Neo1973, intended to be designed, built and fitted by the community/the phone's owner. Many specific suggestions can be found in Wish List - Hardware#Casing and corresponding links.

Each alternate case design suggestion needs some or all of: a description, intended uses, design options, a 3D model in an open format (e.g. .stl, .blend (Blender), .obj (Wavefront), .aoi (Art of Illusion) ), rendered images of the intended design, materials, components and information regarding interfacing electronically to components within the phone.

Notes

None of this can be accomplished without the dimensions of existing phones - if FIC are unable/unwilling to release precise dimensions, a user of a Neo1973 will need to measure their phone and upload the information to Neo1973 case schematics in the form of a 3D CAD model.

Some users may want combinations of the variants listed - popular/simple options such as Stylus Mount/Different speaker orientation/Extra battery/Extra storage may be combined into one model.

Manufacture

There are numerous rapid prototyping companies that will very cheaply make small run components from various polymers, including:
